Saturday, the 12th of May 2024

This has been the laziest day of her life since... forever. Elizabeth had have nothing to do all day, even if this was an eventful day, it's really oxymoronic to say that.*

Her best mate, Scorpius, was with her during all the morning since she woke up. She had slept with her girlfriend Lily during the night and when Lily had went out of the dorm, she had let him getting in Elizabeth's Head Girl's dorm and from that moment, Scorp' hadn't let her go away from him until after lunch. During the lunch, him, his girlfriend, Rose (Lily's cousin), Hugo (Rose's little brother), Joseph (her other childhood best friend) and Smith Elsa (her first 'enemy' at Hogwarts then her new friend since last Christmas), they all had offered gifts to her after a house elf brought her birthday cake and she had blown out the (eighteen) candles on top of it.

Then during the afternoon, like all the Saturday before that when there was no Quidditch match, they had planned out a friendly one with a time limit of two hours and a half (because half of the participants had said they had other things to do at 5 PM and they had started it at 2:30 PM). Their friendly matches' rules were like that: first, they had no player limit, then, they had a time limit after a short survey about it before playing, next, they played without the Golden Snitch and the Seeker player and finally there can be as many players as Keeper, Beater and Chaser as there are in the original game but they can be much more as Beater and Chaser —also there no more Houses in their little games.

After this eventful start of the afternoon, at 5 PM, Lily and Elizabeth had found a cosy place by the Quidditch pitch.

— You look really pretty Eli with that glitter under your eyes, Lily complimented Elizabeth while stroking her hand through Elizabeth's hair.

Lily's gestures made her blush furiously. Elizabeth in return, to hide her flustration confessed:

— I love you Lily.

As she finished her phrase, Lily attracted Elizabeth towards her and began to kiss her gently. Then Elizabeth, intoxicated by their kiss, let Lily touch her neck and press her against her. They continued to kiss each other for a hot minute.

— Also, about that glitter makeup, thank you so much for helping me sooner today. I haven't got any makeup since… since a long time ago so yeah, I needed help this afternoon. Oh and, Elizabeth kissed Lily on her cheek before saying: thanks for gifting me that make-up palette and I love you, Lils.

After that little kiss from her girlfriend, Lily, like all the other redheads in her family, had blush vividly and so after Elizabeth had finish to thank her, she said:

— You already said that during lunch, all of that, I know that, honey and I love you too. Can I kiss you again, Eli?

With no word said, Elizabeth leant on her lover and placed Lily's face in her cupped hands and kissed her again softly. Thirty second in their kiss has passed when they decided to give it a twist with a "fight" between their tongues. At the end of their fight, the two girls broke the link between their lips and the youngest one put her head into the oldest’s neck. Then Elizabeth put her arms around her girlfriend and kissed her on the top of her head. They rested happily like this for about an hour, just the two of them enjoying each other’s presences. Some moments, Lily stroked Elizabeth’s thighs and stomach meanwhile Elizabeth petted her head and caressed Lily’s lower back.

Unfortunately for them both, Elizabeth, as the Head Girl, had to do her Head Girl’s chores so she had to go and leaved behind Lily until dinner. The two young lovers stood up and the today’s girl head towards the Prefect Head Quarters for the weekly reunion. As the Head Girl, she wanted to be a little bit in advance in comparison with her classmates and the Head Boy, and also because she could prepare the reunion.

The meeting begun as soon as the others arrived. As the end of the reunion, they have discussed about all the house points they had given and taken, the different punishments they had prescribed and the different activities they had planned before and after this hour. Elizabeth and Adam thanked the Prefects for their attendance and their respect of the rules of Hogwarts.

— It’s your birthday, today, I can tidy the room alone, Adam suggested to her as she had begun to clear up directly after Elizabeth stood up.

As the Hufflepuff said that, the Slytherin had stop her moves and she stared at him with a look in the eyes that would have killed if it was possible to kill with a glance.

— Thanks for your stupid Hufflepuff charity but it’s unnecessary! If we clean up together, we can be on time for dinner. Also, we can be with our respective lovers.

— I… I don’t… I don’t know… I haven’t… Okay, I may have a ‘lover’ but I—

— I know it’s Joseph, he had tell me yesterday morning. He’s really happy with you, you know? He had confessed me that he can tell you about anything and you’ll support him. So thank you for that.

During her said, she had give him the signal to start cleaning up again. Their little talk lasted while they were cleaning the rest of the table and putting the students folders away in their shelves. After one last scan of the room, the two students walked out of it and head towards the Great Hall for dinner. They were on time for it because as soon as they passed through the door, all the meals popped out.

— Bon appétit, Elizabeth, see you on Monday if we not met tomorrow!, Adam greeted her.

They went to their respective house table as she agreed with what Adam had said. Elizabeth went to her table and sat down next to Lily, with Lily on her left side. They always sat like that so they could hold hands while eating their own meals; Lily was left-handed while Elizabeth is right-handed.

Elizabeth was happy to finally have dinner in the Great Hall with Lily —and the others... But mostly with Lily.* Since the “announcement” about their couple (also technically Elizabeth’s coming out), no one had left them alone except during the night —because Lily had slept with her in her Head Girl’s private room. This “announcement” was ten days ago during the commemoration of the Hogwarts Battle and the celebration of the victory of the Chosen One and his side.

Ever since their school year had arrived at Hogwarts, the professors had accepted to give them permission to sit with other Houses during breakfasts and lunches but to maintain the idea of the Houses, they hadn’t accepted it for dinners. In consequence, Elizabeth was just with Rose, Joseph and Lily as her best friends and the other Slytherins at their table.

— What did you have discussed at your Prefects’ reunion?, Rose asked Elizabeth.

— Oh, you know, the usual things, like the points each of us had gave and lost to different students and the punishments Adam and I had gave… Elizabeth answered her weary. Oh and also, about the different things we had planned before and the things we want to plan for the students.

During her reply, Elizabeth served herself some pastas again.

— Sorry to ask, Lizzy but—

— Don’t be sorry for asking Jo… don’t ever be sorry for other things like that, “Lizzy” smiled at Joseph “Jo” Nott.

— Oh, you’re right but… hmm… did you talk about something during your little reunion?

Elizabeth though about it for ten seconds then she knew what her friend talked about.

— Hmm… yeah, Adam and I… we had talked about… Lily and you.

— Honestly, guys, we don’t have to be very smart like me, Rose bragged flapping her hair above her shoulders, to understand that you two are talking about Joseph and Adam’s couple. On top of that, everyone knows about Adam and you, maybe apart from Albus… Yeah, maybe only Albus, but that’s on him.

— Why did you have to talk that much every time you open your damn mouth, my dear cousin?!

The four of them continued to discuss throughout their dinner with sometimes, the two cousins quarrelling with each other on random topics, sometimes the two childhood best-friends disputing about whether or not both of them had to speak out and be self-confident.

When Rose saw Scorpius stood up with the other Gryffindors, she ended their talk and followed her boyfriend. That was the signal for everyone to exit the Great Hall and most of the pupils though they had about one hour and a half before the curfew and that they would take advantage of the opportunity to do what they wanted.

The trio, composed of the Head Girl, her girlfriend and her best-friend, walked out of the Great Hall and towards the House of Slytherin together. They sat down in one of the corner of the green and silver room and chatted up friendly until curfew. Then the two girls said goodbye to the young boy and left him for going in the birthday girl’s room.

As soon as they closed the doors, they headed quickly towards the bed of the Italian girl and as soon as they were both on the bed, they begun to kiss passionately. The youngest of them had her hands around the oldest’s waist and Elizabeth had one of her hands in Lily’s neck and the other caressed the cheekbone of Lily’s face. After two minutes —that Elizabeth perceived as ten minutes— into their kiss, Lily invited her girlfriend to rest her head in her neck and they started a small talk:

— Did you have a good day, my dear?

— It was a really long day, I’ve do what I wanted and also it was a really very lazy day, Elizabeth replied with a little of tiredness in her voice. But in general, it’s a good day, she smiled at her lover.

— Lizzie, other than my gift, what was the best one? And who gifted it to you?

— Hmm… I think… I really like Scorpius’s gift —also because it was Jo’s idea. You know the “100% space Pass”: with the tours of the ESA, Greenwich’s and Pic du Midi’s observatories, a 0G flight and I’ll also get to see the take-off of a spaceship I’ll choose later. It’s not really a pass because I’ve got the different tickets and special favours to the different access…

And with that sentence, she begun to talk about anything related to her gift(s) and to space with no interruption of her girlfriend. The next day, the two girls would be laughing and remembering about that time Lily hadn’t stopped talking about potions until the very morning. But this time, both of them had begun to whisper as they became more and more tired until Elizabeth fell in the arms of Morpheus and let herself rest in the arms of her lover as she caressed her hair and shoulders. As for the redhead young girl, she would fall asleep ten minutes after her dark-head lover.
